Yeah you seem like you know what the deal is. I basically posted that for anyone reading along in the thread. Quite a few people on this site have no clue about privacy and its kind of my hobby horse.
Since I keep mentioning privacy this is probably a good guide to post:
CleanURL's is unnecessary if you have uBlock Origin installed:
https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Static-filter-syntax#removeparam
Same thing with I still don't care about cookies. Use the two default Cookie Notice filters in UBO.
For the Google tracking you can use Multi-Account Containers, but that's an upgrade rather than a replacement.
I'm pretty sure a few of the Twitch ones can be solved with Tapermonkey and various scripts, but don't quote me as I don't use Twitch.
Just remember - the more extensions you install the easier it is to track you.
Vivaldi wouldn't be my first chromium-based browser choice. Still too many privacy issues vs other browsers:
No disagreement there. Still worth pointing out as he's looking for a better experience on his equipment which a non-firefox browser might provide.
highly recommend you install this @kleeon@hexbear.net . Its a huge memory saver.
What OS are you on and what other addons are you using? Something definitely odd seems to be going on with your install.
Well, at this point EVERYTHING is pushing AI, so I honestly wouldn't use that as a barometer of whether or not the browser was any good.
Oooh thanks for this. I wasn't staying on top of the new settings so this is really helpful.
If anyone is making these or other about:config changes you need to restart the browser to effectively save them.
Base Firefox is pretty terrible but with the right addons you can turn it into whatever you want. I'm more privacy focused so all my stuff is aimed at that. Definitely look up something like arkenfox (https://github.com/arkenfox/user.js) to get a sense of all the bullshit options you need to turn off.
Someone else mentioned Librewolf but there's also Palemoon:
and Orion by the Kagi people:
Brave is dogshit for privacy. If you need recommendations on addons feel free to ask. Definitely start with uBlock Origin. Its legitimately the best thing on the internet.
Well shit. This whole comms thing is so weird to me. Sorry for posting in the wrong spot. I setup an intro post instead.
Since there doesn't seem to be an introduction thread I figured I'd pop in and say hi. Been lurking since the the fall of the Chapo republic and this site was setup. God only knows what possessed me to finally make an account at this point in the movie, but I'm here now, so fuck it I might as well post my way through to the other side.

Have you guys not seen the news today? Apparently, he's made a huge mistake:

CEO who snatched boy's hat at US Open says he made 'huge mistake'
The man who was caught on camera snatching a hat off a young boy at the US Open has said he made a "huge mistake" after footage of the incident went viral.
Piotr Szczerek, a Polish chief executive of a paving firm, said he was "convinced" tennis star Kamil Majchrzak had been "passing his hat in my direction".
"I know I did something that seemed like consciously collecting a memento from a child," he wrote in a statement. "This wasn't my intention, but it doesn't change the fact that I hurt the boy and disappointed the fans."
The video, taken during Majchrzak's match on Thursday, showed the tennis player offering his cap to a child, before Mr Szczerek appears to take it.
Versions of the clip were shared widely on social media and prompted criticism of Mr Szczerek's actions.
The 50-year-old wrote on social media on Monday: "I would like to unequivocally apologise to the injured boy, his family, as well as all the fans and the player himself."
He added that he had given the hat back to the boy, and hoped that it had "at least partially repaired the damage that was done".
Majchrzak, 29, who had just won his match against Russian ninth seed Karen Khachanov when the incident unfolded, told the BBC he believed he "did what most of athletes would do in this kind of situation", adding he hoped the boy and his family "had a great day".
He earlier indicated to the New York Post that he felt there had been some kind of confusion.
"I was pointing, giving the hat, but I had a lot going on after my match, after being super tired and super excited for the win," he said.
"I just missed it... I'm sure the guy was also acting in the moment of heat, in the moment of emotions." Getty Images Kamil Majchrzak pictured wearing a blue t-shirt, black shorts and a black cap.

The tennis star reunited with the boy over the weekend, sharing clips of him giving the young fan a cap and other merchandise on Instagram.
"Today after warm up, I had a nice meeting," the tennis star wrote, adding: "Do you recognise [the cap]?"
Majchrzak, ranked 76th in the world in men's singles, came back from two sets down to beat Khachanov in a second-round match at Flushing Meadows, but was forced to retire injured during the first set of his third-round tie against Switzerland's Leandro Riedi on Saturday.
He later confirmed he had torn an intercostal muscle.
Mr Szczerek and his wife Anna founded his paving company Drogbruk in 1999, polish outlet Tenis Magazyn reported. The company sponsors sporting events and Polish athletes.
The couple and their two sons are amateur tennis players who compete in local leagues, and have hosted Polish tennis pro Urszula Radwańska on their home court, according to Tenis Magazyn.
